The Issue of the Courtesy Hour
Level 12
: 6,000/12,000, 0 ante
With play currently hand-for-hand on the money bubble and less than half an hour left in the level, the topic arose of the "courtesy hour" — an extra hour of the same blind level while play is hand-for-hand. With blinds due to go up from 3,000/6,000 to 4,000/8,000, there needed to be an agreement between all players on whether to skip the courtesy hour and move straight up.
Some players voiced their dissent, and it was agreed that the extra hour will be taken. However, there are still 25 minutes left in the level, and the situation may change.
